GARMENT-REQEPTAQLE.

Application filed November 17, 1908'. Serial No. 463,044.;-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it'known that I, .CHARLO'I'IE'GOLDBERG,

a citizen of theUnited States; residing at Ch1C1gQ5.111 the county ofCook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Garment-Re ceptacles, of which the following is a ,specification. i

My invention is an improvement in garment receptacles. V f It is quite customary to suspend a garment upon a hanger to prevent it from creasing,

and to cover it with a sheet of cloth'or tar.

paper to protect it from dirt or insects. One of the objects of my invention is the providing ofa bag for garments in'which, they can be completely inclosed and thus more perfectly protected'against dust andinsects than is possible in a sheet. Again the placing of a garment in a be is found to be quite a clumsyprocess, which becomes evenv more unsatisfactory if it is attempted to place two ormore garments in the same bag.

Another object of my invention is the construction of the bag in a novel manner to greatly facilitate the placing of garments therein.

The invention is illustrated by a sheet of drawings of whichctional front elevation of Figure 1 is a se the garment with the bag suspended 'over it;'Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation ofa garment inside ofa ba ;-.Fig..3 is an endview of a closed bag; F1g'.4'shows the bottom of a bag before rolling up .to c-lose'it;

Fig. 5 shows a bag with a transparent'portion therein.

In the drawingsl represents the garment;

suspended from the body"? of a hanger which is provided with a book 3. The hook 3 is itself suspended from a long rod 4 which depends from a hook 5 in the ceiling or a chandelier. The rod 4 is provid'ed'wit'h a double bend 6 upon which bend rests the closed end 7 of the bag 8, the rod 4: passing through a small hole 9. When the garment has been smoothened out upon its hanger, the ha is grasped by the bottom or open end an moved sidewise oif from the double bend in the rod and then pulled down over the garment and hanger, until the hanger hook 3 protrudes through the hole?) in the top of the bag. This is shown in dotted outlines in Fig. l. The hanger is then un- Specifi'cati'oh of Letters Patent.

hooked from thelong rod 4: ,and hung in the wardrobe or whereverdesired. 1i

Since the-bag is practicallyfclosed tit the top except for the small hole 9 which itself can beclosed by a small flap in the bag, it forms an f etlicient protection against dirt. But to permitit to be closed 'at the bottom as well, I provide itwithtwo plates of soft such positionas shown in Fig.3.

The material of the baginay be varied to suit. It maybe made of. cloth or tar Again it. might be- 'Imade of material which is opaque and provided with. a window of transparent; material as shown in Fig. 5v at 30.
